The problem I experienced with this is different.

For example, I connect to a database which is hosted on a hosting company
using SSMS of SQL Server 2008. Then when I try to expand Databases node, it
complains about invalid user for the first database which I don't have right
to reach under this node.

Error:

I can query against my tables using Query Editor but I can't see my database
(nor the others) on the Object Explorer.

Didn't this happen to you?
